Christmas Party at Hays Paddock, Kew.

Today, we had a Christmas Party with some of our friends. We had a really nice play at the very cool adventure playground. I loved the sandpit because it had a very cool 'sand shovelling machine' - just like Scoop in Bob the Builder! (Sorry there are no photos to show you because Mummy was preoccupied with Ollie and Isobel!)

We played some cricket, collected leaves and sticks to make into animals, and oh, of course Santa came to visit us! I was very excited!
He came walking out of the bushes and he was carrying a sack full of presents!

These are my friends: (left to right) Veronika, Claudia, Alexander, and Oliver up the back with me. Veronika and Alexander are twins and their eldest sister Claudia was my bestfriend for the day - we played together, held hands lots and gave each other cuddles!

Santa asked us our names and asked if had been good - and of course I said YES!

We all got a present each from Santa!

I got a cool golf cady set but somehow my friend Oliver (not my brother) and I swaped presents - he wanted the Golf set and I wanted his fishing rod!!!

See -Saw.

Ollie and I on the See-Saw at Westerfolds Park.

My drawing.

Do you know what this is? I drew it for my baby sister one day.
... It's an octopus! And yes, I drew it ALL by MYSELF!!!

Dodgem Cars.

A few weekends ago we went to the Eltham Festival - I loved riding on the Dodgem Cars.

Robin Hood!

I got this cool bow and arrow set from my Mummy's cousin Wei Wuen.

Afternoon Tea at Laurent.

We had a nice afternoon tea at Laurent at Doncaster Westfield Shopping Centre just a few days after my new baby sister was born.

I love my babychino's!

I enjoyed my pink macaroon biscuit and my rainbow coloured cake!

mmmm so delicious!

Mother's Group Birthday party

Pigging out on party food!

A day at The Collingwood Children's Farm and the Abbotsford Convent.

I really enjoyed patting the goats. I loved to chase them all around the paddock too!

I just HAD to have a sit on the tractor!!!

I enjoyed one of my favourite foods from the Convent Bakery - PIZZA!! Daddy couldn't resist the organic beer from Healsville! Mummy & Ollie couldn't resist the bagettes!!

There was lots happening at the Convent today. They had a produce market on and a mexican man playing some cool music. I joined in and played some of the percussion instruments and even had a go at the bongos.

Happy 3rd Birthday too me!!!

My Por Por's friend made me this wonderful cake!!! It has a fisherman and a boat on it!

For my birthday, Mummy & Daddy got me nice wooden tool bench and a car play mat.

Art for Food.

Today, Mummy & I went with Daddy to support him and some other artists from BLENDER studios in a charity art competition held at Federation Square run by Art for Food. Groups of artists get together to raise money for the homeless. The aim of the competition was to combine 3 canvases, each artist is then allocated either the head, torso or legs and are given 1 hour to complete an artwork. At the end the Head, torso and legs are joined to make the: Exquisite Corpse.

Sitting on Adrian Doyle's lap, cheering and all the artists involved.

Judging time!

And to our amazement - my Daddy, Regan & Adrian's Exquisite Corpse won 1st prize!!! I was very excited I kept giving all the Blender Artists Hi-5's!!!

Daddy & I with the artists from Blender studios. These will be my Daddy's new 'colleagues' next year when he finishes being a teacher at the end of the year to become a FULL TIME ARTIST!! Daddy has a new studio set up at Blender.
I had so much fun today!!!

Being Maternal.

Ever since baby Claudia came to visit I have discovered my maternal side. I am now calling my 'Lambie' my 'Baby'. I have blanket for him, put him to bed and I even give him milk from a bottle just like Ollie does. I even borrow one of Mummy's handbags and go shopping for baby food. I take my car, my Baby and my handbag with me go to "the Shops". I am looking forward to my next baby coming in November!!! I like to rub Mummy's tummy and give the Baby kisses. I say to Mummy, "like a big ball inside Mummy's tummy, me need to bounce it like a ball! Baby coming out soon, me need to bounce it, up and down, like a ball!"

Getting Clucky!

To my Mummy's surprise I was soooo taken by baby Claudia when they came to visit the other day. I wanted to hold her on my lap and I didn't want to give her back to her Mum. I kept saying 'so cute'!
I was upset when they went home - Mummy told me that I will get to hold Mummy's new baby soon - as much as I want. Later, I even tried to put Ollie on my lap - but it wasn't the same as a tiny newborn! - Ollie is nearly heavier than me and he doesn't keep still!

I took this photo of Julia, Claudia's older sister - she is 3 years old.
